The Sky-Supporting Cloudship traveled at incredible speed, swiftly crossing barrier after barrier between regions.
As the Primordial Continent's violent currents of chaos gradually subsided,
a vast expanse of heaven and earth, wreathed in rising purple mist, came into view.
This was the Primordial Eastern Region, which nominally ruled over the other three regions.
The cloudship broke through layers of auspicious clouds before finally hovering above a majestic palace.
The cloudship slowly descended and docked on a broad white jade plaza.
The cabin doors opened. Ye Li and his two companions had barely stepped off the deck when a tall figure approached from a short distance ahead.
The newcomer wore an expressionless face, his gaze deep and unfathomable, while faint fluctuations of extraordinary power radiated from him.
It was none other than Battle Lord, who had previously sent an avatar down to Violet Firmament Prefecture!
But when his gaze landed on that familiar Purple-Gold Dao Robe,
Battle Lord's stern face twitched slightly, and he cursed inwardly:
Damn it!
He could feel his legs, which had weathered countless battles to the death, disgracefully beginning to tremble again!
What kind of sinister thing is this brat hiding on him?!
Battle Lord forced down the shudder rising from the depths of his soul, then drew a deep breath. Putting on an air of magnanimous indifference, he addressed Ye Li:
"Prefect Ye, I've long heard of you."
"What happened at Violet Firmament Prefecture was nothing more than a misunderstanding."
"I only sent down my avatar as a matter of routine duty."
Battle Lord looked Ye Li straight in the eye, his tone calm:
"Now that you've accepted the Supreme One Palace's invitation, we're all working for the Dao Master."
"Why don't we wipe the slate clean regarding our past grievances at Violet Firmament Prefecture?"
